How to use gas heating
We started 20 years ago with a new central heating system, which had thermostatic valves on each radiator. It gradually deteriorated and the boiler was chuntering away, so we have bitten the bullet and had a new boiler, power flush and the hive installed this week. The trouble is it seems a step backwards in terms of…

First:Utility – My First Bill Experience
Joined them in September 2014 and they took a direct debit payment straight away. My first bill arrived early November and I submitted my meter readings again on 30 Nov.

quick question....
May help others in a similar situation. Is it better to go for a 3 yr fix with Scottish Power at £700, or to "save" £90 by going for a 1 yr fix with isupply at £610? Obviously one expects prices to rise, but then oil has fallen of late and fracking, etc may alter the equation in time Thanks for any comments

Obfuscation reigns in the energy market
My experience arising from my recent decision to switch supplier following information provided by the Energy Price Club leads me to believe that forecasts about costs to be incurred as a result of staying with my existing supplier were unrealistically high and that the resultant saving from switching to a new supplier is…
